Faith Runs Deep: Study 2, The God of the Second Chance
The Study 2 in a series titled "Faith Runs Deep".
Lachlan and Elizabeth Macquarie were counter-cultural in their day. They believed that convicts who had finished their sentence were no longer of the ‘criminal class’ but people who could be forgiven, restored, and given a fair go. To understand why, we need to understand the Jesus they trusted in.
As Christians we are saved by an even greater act. Jesus died
and rose again to free us from a greater penalty.
